     @aw when I began learning forth, I did a big call for graphical forth applications examples, I wanted to see how folks did it. I got tons of people sending C games that used forth as a scripting language for dialogs, a few waybackmachine pages that showed forth-made graphical projects that ran on now vanished versions of forth, I was surprised too, but don't let that discourage you :)

     @aw the best help I've ever found, that you might appreciate, is the Jupiter Ace book, there are PDFs of it around, it's full of fun examples and very clear documentation. It helped me tremendously.
